Latest news and updates about the Golden Knights
The Vegas Golden Knights made the decision over the weekend to fire head coach Bruce Cassidy and replace him with John Tortorella with eight games remaining in the regular season.

It appears teams aren’t going to wait for the end of the season to start making changes. A day after the Vegas Golden Knights fired the most successful coach in their history and replaced him with an old friend, the Toronto Maple Leafs parted ways with general manager Brad Treliving. With the disappointing season the Leafs had this season, it someone was going to have to pay the price. It’s usually the general manager or the head coach, and, for now, it’s Treliving. Making the change now ...
New Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella met the media in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon for the first time since taking the job on Sunday. He was asked how he expects to make his mark on the team. I know the (locker) room. I know it's a strong room, laden with playoff-tested players. I'm going to lean on my coaching staff, I've already leaned on some players already, just asking them for some thoughts. I have some points... One of them, in the games I've watched, I just want u...
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says the fracture between Vegas Golden Knights players and former head coach Bruce Cassidy started during last year’s playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Vegas Golden Knights pulled what seems to be a desperation move by firing head coach Bruce Cassidy with just eight games to play in the regular season. But insider Elliotte Friedman told Sportsnet and said on his 32 Thoughts podcast, that the breakdown between the coach and his players dates back to last May, when they were knocked out of the playoffs. Bruce Cassidy is a great coach, but he is demanding... He's kind of like one of those guys, 3-4 years, and he really star...
Now that the stunning news of the Vegas Golden Knights firing of head coach Bruce Cassidy has settled in, there are certainly some front offices around the NHL that are seriously reconsidering their options behind the bench. Cassidy is a great coach with a recent Stanley Cup on his resume, and it would be a surprise if some team isn't quick to jump on him. Some come immediately to mind. Edmonton Oilers Kris Knoblauch's job security seems extremely shaky at the moment, as the Oilers...

I know we’re still a few weeks away from the playoffs starting, but it’s hard not to think that last night’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena was pretty damned close.

Fans of both the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights can commiserate about a season that has fallen well below expectations so far.

Recap of the game.
Up until now, the Jets have stubbornly remained in the wildcard fight, routinely picking up at least one point ( only outright lost 4 of their past 16 contests ). Despite Winnipeg often adding points to their year total, they actually have only managed to move from the 5th worst record to the 7th. However, since there are 5 teams with 2 or less points ahead of them in the standings….our hockey team could significant diminish the value of their upcoming 1st round draft pick over the remainder o...
The Vegas Golden Knights paid a hefty price to acquire Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames , so a contract extension was fully expected to follow soon after. However, nearly three months have passed with no deal in place, and that raises the question of whether Vegas should be concerned about the situation or not. Why the Golden Knights Haven’t Extended Rasmus Andersson Yet At first glance, the delay might look worrying. When the Golden Knights traded for Noah Hanifin in 2...
In the week that was Edmonton Oilers hockey, we saw the highs and lows that are a microcosm of the 2025-26 season. The wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche were both tidy and exciting: showcasing a brand of low-event, structured puck in Nevada, and then a dynamic attack off the rush of…
The San Jose Sharks get ready for the second game of back-to-backs today. The good news for the Sharks is that the Ottawa Senators are also playing the second game of a back-to-back, albeit with a bit more rest. The Senators played yesterday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks and were kind enough to do the Sharks a favor and beat the Ducks 2-0. Ullmark made 23 saves for the shutout. For those of you playoff race watching, that loss allowed the Vegas Golden Knights (F*** Vegas) to leapfro...

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their two-game road trip against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. It’s going to be a late one — a 9 p.m. CT puck drop — but maybe the Hawks can build off of their two-game win streak? That may be unlikely given that the Golden Knights have no issues steamrolling weaker teams. Vegas has, however, failed to find success in beating playoff-caliber opponents. Since November, Vegas has only won six games against teams in a playoff spot (as of this writ...
The Edmonton Oilers accomplished the bare minimum, securing a winning record on their four-game road trip this past week.
